When we specify a large number for node in hugepages parameter,
it may be parsed to another number due to truncation in this statement:
	node = tmp;

For example, add following parameter in command line:
	hugepagesz=1G hugepages=4294967297:5
and kernel will allocate 5 hugepages for node 1 instead of ignoring it.

I move the validation check earlier to fix this issue, and slightly
simplifies the condition here.

I am surprised none of the automated checking complained about that
assignment.

I can't remember, but I think that check for node < 0 was added to handle
overflow during the above assignment.  Do you remember Zhenguo Yao?

I think such assignments may be very common in kernel, and thus automated
checks just ignore them.

No, I don't. I took a look and found that the check for node < 0 has been
there since his first version of patch.

Sorry for my late reply.  This check for node < 0 was added
to handle node parameter overflow from the earliest version:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210820030536.25737-1-yaozhenguo1@gmail.com/
Parameter of node allocation was:  hugepages_node=xx hugepages=xx at this
version. With the changing of the code, this check has lost its effect.
